The French design of the Demonstration Home at 18419 Van Aken Bouelvard is highlighted in the Van Sweringen Company advertisement (at left) which appeared in the Cleveland Plain Dealer in 1925. "Through many-paned casements [windows] and deep French doors," the ad reads, "bright sunshine floods every room in this charming Normandy house." The ad also mentions the home's "delightful book room," "a garden with its lion's head fountain," and "an entirely separate service stair" which led to the third-floor maid's quarters. | Source: Cleveland State University Library Special Collections / City of Shaker Heights Planning DepartmentDownload Original File
